Although I don't have the room for any of those beautiful specimen plants in Peter's collection I have been able to make the space for a couple of very well grown, smaller, choice plants. I'm extremely pleased with my new acquisitions and can, like Peter's other visitors, highly recommend that others take this opportunity to buy some quality plants.
Thanks again Peter and good luck with the sale.
Especially interested in Mesembs. small Aloes and South African miniatures and bulbs.

Hi, I would be interested in a Copiapoa cinerea columna-alba of any size? That is one Copiapoa I have been trying to get for my collection.

Hi,

Just one left. Although it's a small plant, you will see that it is not a standard home grown specimen. It's rather special. Please PM me if you are interested.

Still lots of cinereas left. I've got them coming out of my ears - all sizes!

Hi, seems to be difficult to contact you any other way bar this one.
I am really interested in it. Can you e-mail me at david_phil@outlook.com the price of it etc. for me, please?
Thanks

Hello, yes, it's a Gymno, but I can't be of much help as to what type, I'm afraid. There's been a lot of moving around gone on in the greenhouse and I am unable to identify which it is.

I visited Tina and Peter today and had a lovely time. I came away with a few treasures for my glasshouse but had to leave plenty more behind. Wow what a lovely collection

What a lovely day looking around a stunning collection and a great cup of tea when I arrived.

Thanks Peter, lovely to meet you and look forward to catching up at the National next year.

Thank you Peter for your kindness on our repeat visit and for keeping the euphorbia for me, arrived back safe with a few othe gems.
It was a fair drive back up to Harrogate in the awful traffic and drizzle but well worth the day overall !
Still plenty of really lovely and impressive big plants for vistors to consider 👍

This is today's view of the contents of my greenhouse after 6 weeks or so of active and hectic selling. This with a view to emptying the place. Many hundreds of plants, possibly a thousand, have found new homes, mainly to visitors - such nice folk - some to Ebay purchasers and quite a few at the recent and splendid Manchester Mesemb show.

The greenhouse looks still to be full but there are gaps that weren't there before and no plants stacked on top of each other! A lesson perhaps, to stop collecting when you really know that you should. However, if you haven't yet reached that stage. the following are available!
